George Williston, a poor rruvhnvin.

covers a band of horse thieves engaged
!a working over brands on cattle. He
creeps near enough to note the chang
ing of the"Three Bars" brand on one
*teer to the "J. K." brand. Paul Lang
ford, the rich owner of the"Three
liars," is informed of the operations of
the gang of cattle thieves—a band if
outlaws headed by Jesse Black, who
long have defied the law and authori
ties of Kemah county. South Dakota,
l/angford is struck with the beauty of
M.ary, commonly known as "Williston's
(title girl." Louise Dale, an expert
rourt stenographer, who had followed
tier uncle, Judge Hammond Dale, from
the. east to the "Dakotahs," and who
J» living with him at Wind City, is
requested by the county attorney,
■Richard Gordon, to come to Kemah and
take testimony in the preliminary
hearing of Jesse Black. Jim Munson, in
waiting at the train for Louise, looks
a t a. herd of cattle being shipped by
Bill Brown and there detects old
"Mag," a well known "onery" steer be
longing to ids employer of the"Three
Bars" ranch. Munson and Louise start
for Kemah. Crowds assemble in Justice
James B. McAllister's court for the
preliminary hearing. Jesse Black springs
the first of many great surprises, waiving
examination. Through Jake Sanderson, a
Jncmber of the outlaw gang, he had
learned that the steer "Mag" had been re
covered and thus saw the uselessness of
Sighting against being bound over. County
Attorney Gordon accompanies Louise

Williston stands in the light, in his floor

IJie attacked and a battle ensues between
Williston and his daughter, on one side,

is set on fire. As an outlaw raises Ids rifle
to shoot Williston a shot from an un
3ttiow« source pierces his arms and the
ritlo falls to the ground. Aid has come to
WilliHlon, but lie and his daughter are
captured and borne away by the outlaws,

rescue. It was Langford who fired the shot
which saved Williston's life. Langford
readies Mary from her captor. The party
warch in vain for Williston. Louise comes
to nurse Mary. Williston is given up for
tk-ad. Hut meager evidence is obtainable
against Jesse Black, and it is concluded
that the case must be. fought out on the
note question of "Alag." Judge Dale ar

CHAPTER XVl.—Continued.
"Tell me anything? Not they. She
was such a good girl. Dick. There
never was a better. She never com
plained. She never got her screens,
poor girl. I wish she could have had
her screens before they murdered her.
Where did you lay her, Dick?"
"Mr. Williston," said Dick, taking
firm hold of the man's burning hands
and speaking with soothing calmness,
"forgive me for not telling you at
once. I thought you knew. I never
dreamed that you might have been
thinking all the while that Mary was
dead. She is alive and well and with
friends. She only fainted that night.
Come, brace up! Why, man alive,
aren't you glad? Well. then, don't go
to pieces like a child. Come, brace up,
I toll you!"
"You —you —wouldn't lie to me,
would you, Dick?"
"As God is my witness, Mary is
alive and in Kemah this minute —un-
less and earthquake lias swallowed
tho hotel during my absence. I saw
her less than two hours ago."
"Give me a minute, my dear fellow,
will you? I —l "
He walked blindly away a few steps
and sat down once more on the ruins
of his homestead. Gordon waited.
The man sat still —his head buried in
l>is hands. Gordon approached, lead
ing his mare, and sat down beside
him.
"Now tell me," he said, with simple
directness.
An hour later the two men sepa
rated at the door of the Whites' claim
shanty.
"Lie low here until I send for you,"
■was Gordon's parting word.
CHAPTER XVII.
Fire!
The wind arose along toward mid
night—the wind that many a hardened
inhabitant would have foretold hours
aefore had be been master of his time
and thoughts. As a rule, no signal
service was needed in the cow coun
try. Men who practically lived in the
open liad a natural right to claim
30r.n0 close acquaintance with the por
'.enis of approaching changes. Hut it
would have been well had some storm
Sax waver over the little town that
;.ai. For the wind that came slipping
lip In the night, first in little signing
Thill's and skirmishes, gradually grow
ing more impatient, more domineering,
more utterly contemptuous, haughty,
ajid hungry, sweeping down from its
northwest camping grounds, carried a
deadly menace in its yet warm breath
t to the helpless and unprotected rattle
j huddled together in startled terror or
already beginning their migration by
intuition, running with the wind.
Ic rattled loose window casings in
the hotel, so that people turned uneas
ily in their beds. It sent strange crea
tures of . the imagination to prowl
I about. Cowmen thought of the de-
I pleted herds when the riders should
come in off the free ranges in the
spring should that moaning wind
mean a real northwester.
Louise was awakened by a sudden
shriek of wind that swept through the
siight aperture left by the raised win
dow and sent something crashing to
| the floor. She lay lor a moment drowsi
ly wondering what had fallen. Was
it anything that could be broken? She
heard the steady push of the wind
gainst the frail frame building, and
knew she ought to convjei herself suf
ficiently to be aroused to close the
window. Hut she was very sleepy.
The crash had not awakened Mary.
She was breathing quietly and deeply.
But she would be amenable to a touch
—just a light one—and she did not
mind doing things. How mean, though,
to administer it in such a cause. She
could not do it. The dilapidated green
blind was flapping dismally. What
time was it? Maybe it was nearly
morning, and then the wind would
probably go down. That would save
her from getting up. She snuggled
under the covers and prepared to slip
deliciously off into slumber again.
Hut she couldn't goto sleep after
all. A haunting suspicion preyed on
her waking faculties that the crash
might have been the water pitcher.
She had been asleep and could not
gauge the shock of the fall, it had
seemed terrific, but what awakens one
from sleep is always abnormal to
one's startled and unremembering
consciousness. Still, it might have
been the pitcher. She cherished no
fond delusion as to the impenetra
bility of the warped Cottonwood floor
ing. Water might even then be trick
ling through to the room below. She
found herself wondering where the
bed stood, and that thought brought
her sitting up in a hurry only to re
member that she was over the musty
sitting-room with its impossible car
pet. She would be glad to see it
soaked —it might put a little color into
it, temporarily at least, and lay the
dust of ages. But, sitting up, she felt
herself enveloped in a gale of wind
that played over the bed, and so wise
ly concluded that if she wished to see
this court through without the risk of
grippe or pneumonia complications,
she had better close that window. So
she slipped cautiously out of bed, ner-

"Won't Save a Thing."
vously apprehensive of plunging her
feet into a pool of water. It had not
been the pitcher after all. Even after
the window was closed there seemed
to be much air in the room. The
blind still flapped, though at longer in
tervals. If it really turned cold, how
were they to live in that barn-like
room, she and Mary? She thought of
the campers out on the flat and shiv
ered. She looked out of the window
musingly a moment. It was dark. She
wondered if Gordon had come home.
;Of course he was home. It must be
nearly morning. Her feet were get
ting cold, so she crept back into bed.
The next thing of which she was con
scious, Mary was shaking her excit
edly.
"What is it?" she asked, sleepily.
"Louise! There's a fire somewhere!
Listen!"
Some one rushed quickly through
the hall; others followed, knocking
against the walls in the darkness.
Then the awful, heart-clutching clang
' of a bell rang out—near, insistent, me
| tallic. It was.the meeting-house bell.
There was no other in the town. The
girls sprang to the floor. The thought
had found swift lodgment in the mind
of each that the hotel was on fire, and
in that moment Louise thought of the
poisoned meat that had once been
served to some archenemies of the
gang whose chief was now on trial for
his liberty. So quickly does the brain
work under stress of great crises, that,
even before she had her shoes and
stocking on, she found herself wonder
ing who was the marked victim this
time. Not Williston —he was dead.
N'ot Gordon—he slept in his own room
back of the office. Not Langford—he
was bunking with his friend in that
same room. Jim Munson? Or was the
judge the proscribed one? He was not
a corrupt judge. He ceuld not be
bought. It might be he. Mary had
gone to the window.
"Louise!" she gasped. "The court
house!"
True. The cloudy sky was reddened
above the poor little temple of justice
where f#r day and weeks the tide of
human interest of a big part of a big
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, "RBUjRSD.AY, MAY 28, 1908/5
state—ay, a bis; part of all the north
west country, maybe—had been stead
ily setting in and had reached its cul
mination only yesterday, when a
gray-eyed, drooping-shouldered, flrm
jawed young man had at last faced
quietly in tlie bar of his court the
defter of the cow country. To-night,
it would dance its little measure, re
cite its few lines on its little stage of
popularity before an audience frenzied
with appreciation and interest; to
morrow, it would be a heap of ashes,
its scene played out.
"My note books!" cried Louise, in
a flash of comprehension. She dressed
hastily. Shirt waist was too intricate,
so she threw on a gay Japanese ki
mono; her jacket and walking skirt
concealed the limitations of her at
tire.
"What are you going to do?" asked
Mary, also putting on clothes which
were easy of adjustment. She had
never gone to fires in the old days
before she had come to South Dakota;
but if Louise went —gentle, highbred
Louise —why, she would go too, that
was all there was about it. She had
constituted herself Louise's guardian
in this rough life that must be so alien
to the eastern girl. Louise had been
very good to her. Louise's startled
cry about her note books carried little
understanding to her. She was not
used to court and its ways.
They hastened out into the hallway
and down the stairs. They saw no
one whom they knew, though men
were still dodging out from unexpect
ed places and hurrying down the
street. It seemed impossible that the
inconveniently built, diminutive prair
ie hotel could accommodate so many
people. Louise found herself wonder
ing where they had been packed away.
The men, carelessly dressed as they
were, their hair shaggy and unkempt,
always with pistols in belt or hip
pocket or hand, made her shiver with
dread. They looked so wild and weird
and fierce in the dimly lighted hall.
She clutched Mary's arm nervously,
but no thought of returning entered
her mind. Probably the judge was
already on the court-house grounds.
He would want to save some valuable
books he had been reading in his of
ficial quarters. So they went out into
the bleak and windy night. They
were immediately enveloped in a wild
gust that nearly swept them off their
feet as it ciime tearing down the
street. They clung together 'fur a
moment.
"It'll burn like hell in this wind!"
some one cried, as a bunch of men
hurried past them. The words were
literally whipped out of his mouth.
"Won't save a thing."
Flames were bursting out of the
front windows upstairs. The sky was
all alight. Sparks were tossed madly
southward by the wind. There was
grave danger for buildings other than
the one already doomed. The roar of
the wind and the flames was well
nigh deafening. The back windows
and stairs seemed clear.
"Hurry, Mary, hurry!" cried Louise,
above the roar, and pressed forward,
stumbling and gasping for the breath
that the wild wind coveted. It was
not far they had to go. There was a
jam of men in the yard. More were
coming up. But there was nothing
to do. Men shook their heads and
shrugged their shoulders and watched
'.he progress of the inevitable with the
placidity engendered of the potent:
"it can't be helped." Hut some things
might have been saved that were not
saved had the iirst 011 the grounds not
rested so securely on that quieting
Inevitability. As the girls came with
in the crowded circle of light, they
overheard something of a gallant at
tempt on the part of somebody to
save the county records —they did not
hear whether or no the attempt had
been successful. They made their
way to the rear. It was still dark.
(To Be Continued.)
QUEER NAMES USED IN CHINA.
Much the Same Idea as That of the
North American Indian.
"We Chinese," said the law student,
"give our children queer names. Our
girls, for instance are not called
Mabel, Jenny or Matilda, but Cloudy
Moon, Celestial Happiness, Spring
Peach or Casket of Perfumes. Our
boys get less delicious names. Boys
are made for work and wisdom, rather
than for dancing and pleasure, and
their names show this, as Practical
Industry, Ancestral Knowledge, Com
plete Virtue, Ancestral Piety, Discreet
Valor. To our slaves we give still an
other set of names. Yes, those dear,
pathetic little slaves of ours, some
girls, some boys, who do a hundred
various little tasks about the house,
these lowly creatures have names like
Not For Me. Joy to Serve, Your Hap
piness and Humble Devotion."
POWER OF THE ROTHSCHILD 3.
Accumulated Wealth Soon to Make
Influence of House Enormous.
It has been calculated that at the
present rate of accumulation the
Rothschilds will own by the middle of
the present century some £2,000,000,-
000 sterling, or nearly enough to pay
off the national debt three times over,
says a writer in the Grand Magazine,
of London, England. The imagination
is staggered and fails to realize the
power which is represented by such
figures. It. could finance, or it could
stop, a war; it could delay the indus
trial development of a country for a
generation; or it could, on the other
hand, enable a country which it fa
vored to beat all its industrial rivals.
A pejper like this must have its fingers
on all the arteries through which flows
the life-blood of commerce, the ebb
and flow of which it can regulate un
controlled.

MARK TWAIN ON MONEY.
Humorist Points Out What He Consid
ers Some Wrong Conceptions.
Mark Twain said that tho financial
panic had caused a wrong idea of the
use and value of money.
"The spendthrift says that money,
being round, was made to roll. The
miser says that, being flat, it >vas
made to star-it up. Moth are wrong.
"Strangely wrong, too, in their id* as
about money are the veteran Aus
tralian gold diggers. These simple
old fellows, though worth perhaps a
lmli million or more, live in the sim
ple dug-outß and chanties of tin ir ieaa
early days.
"Once, lecturing, I landed at an Aus
tralian port. There was no porter in
sight to carry my luggage. Seeing a
rough-looking o!d fellow leaning
against a post with his hands in his
pockets, I beckoned to him and said:
" 'See here, if you carry these
Hl> to the hotel ill give you half a
crown.'
"The man scowled at me. He took
three or four gold sovereigns from liis
pocket, threw them into the .sea,
scowled at ine again, and walked away
